OFFICE MEMO HTML & ATAPI continued Date:12/26/95
I've figured out work-arounds on the FAQs, although I'd still like to know if
2.1 ships with an HTML client pre-installed. What I need to figure out is, can
my ATAPI drive be made to work with FreeBSD as it does with DOS, or should I
give up? If not, how can I install packages given I am not internet attached
with FreeBSD and stagingto DOS garbles the filenames?
Recap and update: I installed 2.1 off CD by way of DOS. I attempted the two
CD install options without avail. I made the kernel with controller wdc1,
options ATAPI and device wcd0, all verbatim per LINT. The kernel comes up
probing wdc1 successfully but with no mention of wcd0. There is a wcd0c in
/dev. If I insert a CD and attempt to
mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt
it tells me that device is not configured. If I MAKEDEV wcd0 with CD inserted
the command completes without comment, but no node of that name results.
I find no guidance from apropos or FAQ on debugging ATAPI. A search on the
web reveals more ATAPI problems than solutions. If you have guidance or can
direct me to documentation on this, that would be most appreciated!
